Loving blue and white...I love blue and white dishes. It's such a fresh and pretty color combination. I finally saw the premier issue of the new magazine we have all been waiting for, Flea Market Style, and I LOVED every page!!!! Their article on blue and white dishes made me want to pull mine out of the cupboard and share them with you.I don't have a large collection, just 6 pieces, but lately I've been thinking small collections with only very favorite pieces are best since I love to collect so many different things. A girl only has so much space to store and display her collections!Just one of my blue and white plates is actually vintage. This sweet dessert plate. I love how soft and faded the blues are both the dish and on the postcard.The next three dishes are all new from Marshalls. Oh, how I adore discount stores!This next beauty is from the beautiful (and delicious smelling!) Crabtree and Evelyn.I may add to my collection someday, but only if I really love the piece and it's cheap, too! I actually did not buy the Flea Market Style magazine when I saw it. I devoured the pages while sitting in an office chair at Fry's waiting for sweet husband to do his boring man shopping. It was so good, though. Even better than I'd hoped for. They featured so many of my favorite things all in one magazine! Every page was beautiful! I think I'll go get it at Walmart because they are 10% off there. It will only save one dollar, but every dollar I save can go toward another pretty treasure! And boy, does that Flea Market Style magazine have me wanting to go antique shopping!!!I do have a few other pretty blue and white treasures that are not dishes that I will have to share with you in other post!Michelle xoxo

Your dishes are so adorable and I love them. I have some blue and white dishes to, from germany, portugal and the netherlands and have them on a great board in my kitchen. And I collect other kitchenalia in blue and white and your are absolutely right - it looks so fresh and bright and we will always find a place for our treasures.

Hi Michelle -Such a pretty post! I think I need a room for every beautiful color I love. When my kitchen went to a soft green/pink roses look, I got rid of all my blue. Now I want it back! Hubby will be so pleased - LOL!Have a great day!Tammy

I love blue and white Michelle. Your plates are so pretty and everyone of them I would want to have in my collection. I really love the last plate you showed us. You can never have too much blue and white I say. I think it will always be in style.hugs

Your blue dishes are so pretty! I especially love the vintage one with the vintage postcard. That is such a lovely shade of blue. I enjoyed your pretty White Wednesday post and the barkcloth you found is gorgeous!

Very nice of you to share your dishes, I to have ao many type of collections going on, I buy dishes when they are cheap as well. Thanks for sharing, please stop by my blog and pay a visit, I am looking for new blog friends. xo Mary

Michelle, your dishes are so pretty - i especially like that vintage dessert plate!i collect vintage dinnerware, not all blue, just a hodge podge, but we use them every day.

I just love discount stores and saving money for other treaures to buy. Your plates are very pretty even the marshall's ones look vintage! Thank you for stopping by my blog and following it. I love your blog, very shabby!!

I agree that the Flea Market Style mag is fantastic. I feel like I finally found a magazine that fits me perfectly, like a pair of good shoes....Your blue and white plates look lovely together. I'm going to spend a little time reading your past posts, I haven't been here in a long time. Your blog is great!
